Hi,I'm Mohamad Fauzi son of Sgt. Hussin Bin Yaakob.I just want to correct my father's number. His number is 928266, not 933623. Based on his story, His operation is Operation Selamat Sawadee, 792 Bravo. During that operation, he is their Platoon Sargent.

Thank you very much for the correction. I have changed his service number to the correct one. The last time your Dad served with me was in Kem Pakit, in Simanggang, Sarawak. I hope your dad is well. Give him my best wishes.
